Gingerbread Challenge

It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the food department! As part of their Christmas Bakery project, our Year 10 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition students have ended on a high note making their Gingerbread houses. The quality of the bakes and decorations was excellent. The Gingerbread houses were wrapped so the students could take them home to share with family and friends. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas.

Design & Technology Super Curriculum submission of the term

Lottie Fellows submitted the following Product Design Super Curriculum Modelling activity this term.

Lottie chose to recreate a lamp she found at home, using old cardboard of different thicknesses and parcel paper. Lottie carefully photographed each step of the process.

Working in an art studio Lottie made a scale model of the lamp. She measured each piece and cut them out using a craft knife and ruler to achieve a sharp, straight line. The pieces were then assembled using a glue gun to stick them together before adding the final touches, like the switch, plug and bolts.

I’m sure you will agree Lottie has done an amazing job and the model lamp is a terrific success.
